He's going to be an interesting one. He definitely wants big money and can score PP goals. But on the flip side, he's not very good at anything else
- PlatosRepucklic

Leafs should've at least considered drafting Laine over Matthews

Signed, while involuntarily drooling on my keyboard

Spatso.

A veteran move. Nice.
- Steven_Seagull

Veteran indeed.

The younger folks know how to use a private window/incognito.

Everyone with a double or triple digit IQ: "Dubas do good".

Edit: Nobody in here has a triple digit IQ. I feel like that is a certainty.

I think hes handled this off season really well. Still needs a bit more but his grade is a B. Was a B- prior to this trade.
- Aaron_85

if he can get marner to sign to something palatable he gets a A+

Great trade for the leafs. Move bone head Khadri for Kerfoot and Barrie (rental).

Leafs need 1 more d man.
- RedRevenge

Wow you know it’s a good trade when even retarded trolls are applauding

He’s the forward version of Ristolainen.

Close....

Hyman, Tavares, Marner
Kapanen, Matthews, Nylander
Johnsson, Kerfoot, Bracco
Moore, Spezza, Micheyev/Korshkov (whoever these dudes are)

Reilly, Barrie
Muzzin, Ceci
Harpur/Dermott, Liljigren
Harpur/Borgman

Fred
Hutch

Definitely better. Has to be better. But I could still see another D move before the TD next season depending on who shines in pre season and steals a spot or who doesn't.

I think they have to bring up Liljigren to know what they have before the know if they want to re sign Barrie or Ceci. (IMHO).
- Barb34

someone will get injured before dermott is back that will allow for lily and sandin to get stints in the nhl.. test them out.

On the ice with Matthews or Tavares every shift.

Well, someone needs to play D for him.

As a leaf fan how can you not be excited after today.

Wow

On the ice with Matthews or Tavares every shift.

He will run the 2nd PP as well.

Maybe even Rielly/Barrie

You say that now,

But get back to me when it’s mid-November and Mitch still hasn’t signed.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

I wont be concerned. It's a two way street. Marner can come down.

Also, Ferraro put it well. People are a fan of the Leafs so at some point the fanbase will turn on any player. We were fans prior to Marner and will be after.

1 more defense man.
And the Leafs could go where no other
Leaf has gone before

Wally World?

Well, someone needs to play D for him.
- Garnie

Get the puck out, give it to the forwards... Not in the dzone anymore, don't have to worry about that anymore.

Just like Reilly last year

Gotta figure leafs go back to having two strong PP units now, splitting up Matthews from JT and Marner. Pretty crazy, JT Marner Rielly, Matthews Nylander Barrie...
- ClarksonDavid

i could see a power play with barrie mathews marner jt and hyman/kap ... and a second unit of reilly ceci spezza nylander johnston

I wonder if all the negative Nancy's will finally give our young GM some respect.....

Doubt it.
- bixll

Alot of crow being consumed tonight. I don’t remember the last time I was so pleased with a trade.

- burn

I can already see Muzz dragging Ceci’s ass all season

1 more defense man.....
- bobbyisno1

Mcquaid would be good in that slot. Team looks good no but not much for pushback.

i like the pp 2 years ago with nylander & matthews playing the half boards postion.

i'd put marner on the 2nd pp unit and let him to whatever the (frank) he wants.
- Tumbleweed

Spezza will probably be on the 2nd PP unit. Rightie one-timers will be nice for a change.

Rielly-Barrie
Muzzy-Ceci

The best part is our cap hit on Barrie is less than Ottawa's is for Hainsey.

It takes a type of low-life person to use these types of words.

What a difference 1-1/2 seasons make.
- On Jan 4, 2018, #leafs beat #sjsharks 3-2. Their D: Rielly, Gardner, Polak, Hainsey, Borgman , Carrick.
- On July 1, 2019, Leafs D = Rielly, Muzzin, Barrie, Ceci, Dermott (when recovered from surgery) plus TBD.
A complete blueline makeover.
